Is this a Fairy Tale or Something?
Posted By pamelamyers on September 17, 2016
I was getting Sam ready for bed and as usual, she wasn’t cooperating. While I was waiting for her to get herself situated and undressed, I took my hair out of my clip so that I would be able to lay down with her when she was ready. We went into the bathroom to brush her teeth. When we were done I said, “Come on Sammy, pajamas.” She looked at my very weirdly and started going back to her room. I wondered why she was looking at me like that and she said, “It’s like your hair controls you…When your hair is down you are like [in a loud, yelly voice], ‘SAM! GET YOUR PAJAMAS ON NOW!’ and when your hair is down, you are like [in a quiet mellow voice], ‘Come on Sam, let’s get pajamas on!’ It’s like your hair controls you or something…”
The next night I started getting snippy again because she was AGAIN stalling about pajamas and she said, “Can you take your ponytail out so it stops controlling you?”
I really think she believes it.

I think that’s a good observation for a 7 year old.
